Glad you got it off, though! </p> <p>I'm buying myself a goal weight purse next week, too! Woot woot! I started at 179 and at 169 (27.9% body fat to 22.7% for reference), I said I'd treat myself. I think I can manage the last pound in a week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1519994 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:38:40 +0000 Smurfette 1519994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @blackbird: Congrats to you both!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1519969 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:31:00 +0000 cascademom 1519969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Thanks! Actually, the weight gain was from stress, work, pumping. I gained during that point. Weight loss was after all of that bs. Also, super congrats!!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Thanks! I'm so close. Just a pound or so to go. Next week, I'll hopefully be buying my goal weight purse. DH has been awesome during my WW experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1519954 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:25:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 1519954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: that is FREAKIN AWESOME - Congrats Doll!</p> <p>@Blackbird: CONGRATS to you too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1519950 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:23:23 +0000 blackbird 1519950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NICE JOB!!!! Except for the lb loss from stress, lol. </p> <p>Keep up the good work :) </p> <p>I also hit my goals. I'm currently splitting the difference between my wedding weight and my pre-pregnancy weight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1519917 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:13:49 +0000 cascademom 1519917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I'm zombie reviving an old thread. I'm about 1 pound away from my goal weight of 180 lbs. It's been almost a year journey to lose the weight. The number itself felt so far off, but I can't believe that it's almost here. I'm almost a good 20 lbs lighter than when I got pregnant with LO in late 2011. (had the number wrong). I got pregnant at 198 lbs, then lost some in the first trimester, but gained it back. I've also lost those additional lbs from breastfeeding, stress, etc. I still want to lose more after I hit goal weight. I love WW and what it's done for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1307920 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:45:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 1307920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Go you - that is so awesome! I, too, recently re-entered the 140's and just.can't.wait. to get back into the 130's. Once I hit the 140's, I suddenly felt like it was possible to get back to being *me*. </p> <p>@cascademom: @grizz: There are some accomplishments that are such a breath of (much needed) fresh air for your mental status . . . and for me, it came at a time when I needed it the most! The rest of my planet may have been under water, but this was one patch of dry land that I could plant my feet in. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1307884 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:27:07 +0000 cascademom 1307884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Thanks. I was so surprised when I stepped on the scale. I ate so badly there, but knew my limitations. My mom was asking me about continuing once I get to goal weight. I told her that I'm going to focus on getting to goal weight and then look to the next goal. Hitting the 180's months ago felt like a dream. Now that it's here, I still can't believe it but love what WW has done for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1307881 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:25:29 +0000 cascademom 1307881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Congrats!!! I love WW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1307855 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:13:56 +0000 Boheme 1307855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm officially in the 140s for weight - barely, but I'm there! I've lost 8 pounds so far on WW. Working out is hit or miss because DS is teething and up every 45 minutes (SHOOT. ME.), but I can easily control what I eat. My goal is 125 by mid-May, but if I hang on to an additional 5-10 while bf, then so be it. I am well on my way to feeling much more like myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1307832 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:08:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 1307832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I just wanted to give you a big shout out for your latest accomplishment - WOOT!!! I am so, so happy for you!!! And totally giving you a big ole *Z snap*! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1302924 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:42:46 +0000 jetsa 1302924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: I'm down for anything. I entered one with @kjpugs prior to getting pregnant than I got my BFP lol so I had to drop out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1302908 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:34:00 +0000 GrapeCrush 1302908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: depending on how much, I could be interested! I need motivation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1302823 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 10:56:10 +0000 cmomma17 1302823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: what's a dietbet? is it real money? if so, I'm too poor ;)<br /> I need motivation and have the same struggles as you. A new thread for the new year perhaps?</p> <p>@cascademom: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1302614 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 08:55:01 +0000 cascademom 1302614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm officially in the 180's, 189.9 to be exact. I managed to lose weight while at the inlaws. Tonight when I have a chance, I'll tell you about my MIL's fictitious weight loss. I ate like crap but must have balanced it out okay within that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1301183 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 11:49:42 +0000 jetsa 1301183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone want to do a dietbet? I need some motivation in the new year to find time, weather it's after work or after he's in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1295507 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 09:37:49 +0000 cmomma17 1295507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: it's so mental. Would you mind sharing what book you read? I'm so into that stuff :) I need to reprogram myself for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1295356 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 05:46:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 1295356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Exactly! Guess I am just going to have to try to find the energy after she goes down at night . . . *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1294444 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:31:37 +0000 T-Mom 1294444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: it's almost like your LO doesn't want you to work out, haha! How do they know!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1294223 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:41:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 1294223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: So far, it's pretty good! It is a serious of dvds/workouts . . . there is a calendar that tells you in what order to do them. It's 25 minutes, and you work as hard as you want to/can during that time. And then, just when you want it to be over, it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1293892 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:52:14 +0000 Smurfette 1293892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: How do you like that video? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1293871 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:46:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 1293871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been trying to get my T25 workouts done in the morning . . . the first morning I worked out at 5 and was good to go. The next morning, LO woke up at 4:23, so she beat me to the punch. This morning, I got about 15 minutes into the workout when she woke up (at 5:30). *augh* So my plan is to re-do it tonight . . . DH will be at a holiday party anyway, so, I can do what I want! :P</p> <p>@T-Mom: You totally get a pass! And yay for green smoothies! </p> <p>@cmomma17: When you're ready to start backing of the sugar, then you're ready and you will . . . if you're not quite ready, try to not go completely overboard, but ENJOY what you are eating! I find that when I let go of the guilt, I feel a little less *compelled* to eat more of whatever it is that I am craving. But don't beat yourself up if you're not *ready* . . . it's totally okay to take some *time off*! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291337 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:18:48 +0000 T-Mom 1291337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone sounds like they are doing great! I didn't wash my face for 3 days when my DS had croup but I gave myself a pass since I didn't wear any makeup for those days anyway, with taking sick days. I'm still doing green smoothie everyday. And as for my candy problem... Well lets just say there are two giant gingerbread houses covered in candy in my dining room right now. And I may be slowly chipping away at them. Darn you Christmas goodies! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291040 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:57:52 +0000 cascademom 1291040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I agree on the willpower. As long as I don't do anymore candy or things like biscuits until the New Year, it'll definitely help keep the pounds coming off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291036 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:57:07 +0000 blackbird 1291036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17, it's so hard! i just read a chapter in a book about goal setting and basically mental stuff regarding that....and so far, it's helping! I'm trying to reprogram my subconscious, lol. Sounds so cheesy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291023 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:54:07 +0000 cmomma17 1291023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: you have such amazing willpower! keep it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291012 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:52:20 +0000 blackbird 1291012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0.6 is totally better than nothing! Keep focusing on your goal!! Nothing can get in your way, you're unstoppable :)</p> <p>I am on a no-junk (candies, cookies, sweet crap, basically) until Christmas Eve goal. I was finding those temptations the hardest to pass up, so I took them completely away and can have something on Christmas Eve and Christmas :) I had a lick of my beaters last night while making a cake for our daycare lady, but that's it. I also bought some calipers and got my body fat measured correctly. FINALLY. It feels good to have measurable accountability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1291005 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:50:43 +0000 cascademom 1291005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @cmomma17: Thanks for the encouragement. The sugar during Christmas is so tempting. I bought Lucky Charms yesterday. It's been one of my little splurges this week. While at my inlaws, I really have to exercise lots of willpower especially since I'm closing in on 190. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1290986 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:42:39 +0000 cmomma17 1290986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: you are doing awesome, I wish I had your motivation and perseverance! the holidays are so hard, so ANY weight loss during these months is amazing in my opinion!</p> <p>I am practically on an all sugar diet at this point :( Need to find my motivation!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-hotties/page/5#post-1290964 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:33:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 1290964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: You are making progress - please don't be discouraged! And I would take a 0.6 over a 0.0 anyday! Sure, bigger numbers are better for stick-to-it-ness for sure, but no matter what, YOU HAVE COME SUCH A LONG WAY! Don't just focus on the 0.6, remember ALL of the hard work that has brought you to where you are now! :heart: </p>
